Amelia might be a good detective but I have to say that she is a terrible mother. Good thing Emerson is around to take care of Ramses! She is so mean to him and though she might care in her heart, it does not come across that way.

Don't ask me! I am the last person to critique an Amelia Peabody book. That is because I am an unabashedly unashamed fan of the intrepid Feminist scholar and her dashing husband, Radcliffe's Emerson. So I refuse to critique on the ground that it will reveal me as hopelessly in love with the entire Amelia Peabody Series.
